Saudia Arabia’s new cubed skyscraper can fit 20 Empire State buildings

Posted by in category: habitats

The New Murabba, which will house hundreds of thousands of residents, is one of the many mega projects part of the Saudi Vision 2030 plan.

If you thought NEOM was the most precious brainchild of Saudi Arabia, then you’re wrong. On Thursday, Saudi’s Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, unveiled plans to supposedly build the world’s largest downtown development in Riyadh called New Murabba, covering over seven square miles.

And that’s not even close. Murabba’s main character will be a ginormous, 400-meter-high, cubed skyscraper called the Mukaab. The Mukaab will be one of the largest structures — large enough to house 20 Empire State buildings.
